Day five marks the halfway point in our Sri Lanka trip and so far it has been amazing. I’ve been to Sri Lanka before, so I had certain expectations but this adventure has blown them out of the water. We have been nonstop hitting awesome spots and staying at great hotels in between to refresh. …
Sri Lanka is known for its national parks, wildlife, surf and rich history. However, we are here to show the adventurous side of the country.

Sri Lanka put on a show for us today with some spectacular colors in the sky making our adventures in Sigiriya very memorable. At 4 am we started the day with a short hike up Pidurangala. We arrived an hour before the sun rose but hung out with the local dogs as the sun slowly …
The Myanmar adventures are over and I am back in Sri Lanka, the land of elephants. My sister also headed to Sri Lanka and is on her own adventure while I have joined the Sri Lanka Tourism Board on a two-week adventure throughout the country. I am linking back up with Jorden Tually and Martin …
